15% OffFounded by Elizabeth Bauman in 1895, Baumans Farm & & Garden in Gervais has a long history of supplying trees, flowers, produce, pies and more to clients throughout the Willamette Valley. “As a household business, were committed not only to our customers however to being great stewards of the Earth and neighborhood,” stated Brian Bauman, co-owner and Elizabeths great, terrific grandson. That commitment to sustainability has actually prompted Baumans to steadily buy energy efficiency for more than a decade– cutting annual natural gas use by an estimated 55,000 therms and providing annual energy expense savings of around $42,200.
Last year, when it was time to set up a brand-new greenhouse, Baumans reached out to greenhouse supplier OBC Northwest, Inc. for an energy-efficient model made 100% of twin-wall polycarbonate. “Although its a large space with 2 bays and 14-foot sidewalls, the temperature level in the greenhouse remains quite continuous,” said Bauman. The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, offering outstanding light quality for plant growth. Roofing system vents in each bay enable natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal curtain, which Baumans strategies to set up in the future.
Due to the fact that of twin-wall technology, the greenhouse is anticipated to save an approximated $10,700 in annual natural gas costs compared to single-wall building and construction. Baumans got an Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentive of $2,400 to help offset the included expense.
Baumans has actually received more than $80,000 in Energy Trust rewards. “We benefit from Energy Trusts offerings every possibility we get. Rest assured, well be doing more projects in the future,” stated Bauman.
